Tuesday, 24 September 2013. Location: Semien Mountains, Ethiopia. The highest mountain yet. Afro-alpine landscape on the way to Imet Gogo.

Our always alert scout. We got up early in the morning, and by seven we had finished our breakfast and were ready to conquer the peak of Imet Gogo. Amhara farmer in Gich village.

Journey of the Nile.: From the desert to the savanna.

http://journeyofthenile.blogspot.com/2013/09/from-desert-to-savanna.html

Saturday, 14 September 2013. Location: Shendi, Sudan. From the desert to the savanna. The skyline of Shendi in the evening. We had lunch at the station of Atbara and then we were found by a helpful rickshaw driver. It seems that rickshaws around here are also called arabiya. And the usual tuk-tuk. Looking around from the balcony of the hotel it seems incredible today that Shendi was once such a prosperous town. Sheikh ibrahim ibn abdallah. Location: Shendi, Sudan.

Sunday, 8 September 2013. Location: Lake Nasser, Egypt. Aboard the Aswan-Wadi Halfa ferry. Sudanese passengers aboard the ferry. Today was about embarkation. The bathroom aboard the ferry. By the way people were much friendlier aboard, they were genuinely interested. Although the same people burst out in incredible shouting as if it was life or death when they fought for places for themselves and their luggage. Gabor said that Sudan will be completely different.

Sunday, 22 September 2013. Location: Semien Mountains, Ethiopia. The Road to the Semien Mountains. Gelada baboons in the Semien Mountains. This morning marked the low point. But it all had begun with the border crossing when our "helpful" friends had stayed with us all the time and we had been unable to find out the real price of the minibus. I can still recall the boy's sentence: " my friend, don't worry, people won't hassle you here, this is no Sudan! Well, it is not, really. We got out of the jeep at ...
